REDCapCAST/R/read_redcap_tables.R

#' Download REDCap data
#'
#' Implementation of REDCap_split with a focused data acquisition approach using
#' REDCapR::redcap_read and only downloading specified fields, forms and/or
#' events using the built-in focused_metadata including some clean-up.
#' Works with classical and longitudinal projects with or without repeating
#' instruments.
#' @param uri REDCap database API uri
#' @param token API token
#' @param records records to download
#' @param fields fields to download
#' @param events events to download
#' @param forms forms to download
#' @param raw_or_label raw or label tags. Can be
#'
#'   * "raw": Standard [REDCapR] method to get raw values.
#'   * "label": Standard [REDCapR] method to get label values.
#'   * "both": Get raw values with REDCap labels applied as labels. Use
#'   [as_factor()] to format factors with original labels and use the
#'   [gtsummary] package to easily get beautiful tables with original labels
#'   from REDCap. Use [fct_drop()] to drop empty levels.
#'
#' @param split_forms Whether to split "repeating" or "all" forms, default is
#' all.
